How to randomize an array of Strings?

Questions & Answers

Hi there!

I’ve found for a long time and I didn’t find anything!

What I need is to pick up randomly a “name” from an array:

var NameArray : String;

NameArray[0] = "Name";
NameArray[1] = "Name";
NameArray[2] = "Name";
NameArray[3] = "Name";

How can I pick a name randomly from that array? Please, help!!

chosenName = NameArray[Random.Range(0, NameArray.length)];

EDIT :

Are you sure ?

make a new scene and a new script. attach the script to the camera, then copy and paste this into the script :

#pragma strict

var NameArray : String[] = ["Name 00", "Name 11", "Name 22", "Name 33"];
var chosenName : String;

function ChooseName() 
{
	chosenName = NameArray[Random.Range(0, NameArray.length)];	
	Debug.Log("chosenName " + chosenName);
}

function OnGUI() 
{
	if (GUI.Button(Rect(10, 10, 100, 35), "random")) {ChooseName() ;}
	GUI.Box (Rect(120, 10, 100, 35), "" + chosenName);
}

Thanks for your answer!

I already did that, but chosenName is going to be a int. And what I need is the String that number has in the Array!

Thanks again!
